“During heavy rain the air bag light would illuminate on the dashboard. A day or so after the rain had passed the light would go off. The consumer is concerned that the air bag may not protect him during an accident. The consumer stated each time he took the vehicle to the dealership, they found a loose connection with the seat belt system under the passenger seat. The adjustments would last anywhere from 90 days to a year. The last time the consumer took the vehicle in to the dealership, they found an open circuit within the passenger side seat belt. …”
